Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare education with an attention to on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat complications ranging from basic afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which furnish them the expertise necessary to execute surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet normally encounter.
